Thank you to everyone who made The Car-Free University Way a success! It was amazing to see families return to a space that was now welcoming for them. We are far from done. We intend to work with the UW student body, U District residents, businesses, and the entire community to make this real.

Share the Cities built Lefty Cheat Sheet to better inform Seattle voters of the range of endorsing organizations that exist beyond our two major newspapers. It was built with us and our own communities in mind, and then shared with everyone to use and to customize. leftycheatsheet.org/about.html

Voted using @electioncheatsheet.org for #Burien using the 37th LD filter and then researched the two judges that weren’t on the aggregator website. Saved me time even though the tool is for Seattle! #VoteEarly

Reminder Seattle, ballots are out and leftycheatsheet.org will tell you who endorsed who so you can see if your fav org has a blind spot

Seattle Social Housing Developer's first new construction project is a 20-unit building in the Central District, on the lot that belonged to the late Rep. Frank Chopp. It opens in 2028, and a community preference policy will focus on people with ties to the CD. Story via The Stranger.

It’s pretty rare to see someone publicly admit in writing that they intentionally violated the “age-old” (1999) Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA). 😆 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticyb...

We don’t want to take legal action to protect the brand Lefty Cheat Sheet but if someone wants to be our lawyer and write a letter to Eileen Pollet reach out on our contact page.

We need your help to defeat these dangerous initiatives! There's tons of volunteer opportunities happening across the state and virtually. Join us to spread the word about how I-001 and I-638 put our kids at greater risk of harm. Head to www.mobilize.us/nohateinwastate to sign up and take actio

More explicitly a relative of Rep. Pollet, Eileen, who owns a consulting firm that a lot of Dems have used, bought leftycheatsheet dot com and is redirecting it to the FUSE guide as an attempt to confuse people trying to find leftycheatsheet.org

NEW: Ex CM Sara Nelson's new dark money group just threw $30k behind D5 candidate Julie Kang with the explicit promise of anonymity for donors to avoid public backlash. Now a progressive PAC has filed complaints and is determined to daylight the donors. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/new-dar...
